Xpeng claimed to have had around 3,000 orders for the vehicle

The current AI state of the art is that AI needs more human verification than humans do. :-)

1. pretty sure the list meant that, in the future, these jobs will be at risk. Not currently. But I'm to lazy to check
2. other aspect of this is if AI can produce something 100x faster than a human, and the human can review it faster than they could do it then it will take less humans

Seems like a human problem too. If AI could do a chunk of the work, and you had humans verifying, you would need fewer humans - hence vulnerability

Another interesting part of this, for sure. Zone training as well as personal performance and recovery tracking has been another big change.

They also do blood testing every hour on some of their training rides for tracking and performance monitoring - some riders have their own testers and test themselves in the off season.

Agree, the easy way will always be taken (at least by some). Look I've been fooled enough on this front to be anything but skeptical, however it is interesting to see some of the things these people do to improve performance that you or I can easily (and safely) do to improve our personal performances. Look at the last 5 years - sauna, ice baths, compression pants, sleep technology, nutrition information - hard to believe that all of that is not at least a part of the performance gains. But, as you said, throw in some EPO on top of that and you'll look like Floyd Landis in the 2006 Tour de France Stage 17

Barring doping, they are human and represent the extremes that a human can reach naturally. Isn't that what sports (highlights for sure) are for, people in awe over what another human can do?

"Hey! That's the same species as me" (as I sit on the couch stuffing bon-bons down my throat)

Interesting videos out there discussing this. Some interesting points:
1. Athletes train year round now and are able to achieve higher gains - they used to take months off and lose conditioning
2. Nutrition: cyclists use to take much less nutrition during these long races, they now ingest double the nutrients from 5-10 years ago. This is due to altering the nutrient mix to help aid and speed ingestion.
3. Sleep: there are cycling teams that literally clear out hotel rooms and replace mattresses, add lighting, A/C and air filtration systems to improve sleep quality.

So are they better, or just better prepared? I would say that the selection of people who fit the design of a professional cyclist just keeps getting smaller -- enduring years of constant training, having a digestive system that can handle the high/concentrated nutrient intake levels -- but also have all the physical attributes that make for great cyclists already (VO2 max, size, body type, etc) is getting smaller.

So my answer is that they are getting better in comparison to athletes from before, we are just finding people that better fit the requirements for each sport. It's like when all the sports teams were whites only, people didn't necessarily get better but the people in those sports were better than before.

Yes, we are all appalled and shocked.

Who are the people that heard this idea and did not immediately strike it as an option. There is nothing ambiguous about the idea of using foreign workers to maintain state security apparatus. I don't care what country you live in, that is a horrible idea.

So here is the real question: Is this treasonous?

The point being made, I think, is to ignore all the hype, propaganda, marketing and sales pitches and focus on whether the tool is useful to you.

Make up your own mind and please don't tell me about it :)

Didn't that model benefit the large carriers by allowing them to treat their customer the same way? Perhaps not to the extent of budget airlines, but it definitely helped move customer experience for all airlines backwards.

So the tool actually does work, just not exactly how they want it to? Brilliant review

Sharing with up to 2 others and you get between 15% and 50% off?

Uber just found a way to increase their revenue by somewhere between 150% and 250% (you do the math, thats my guess)

In Soviet Russia Team of AI agents will soon manage you!

Oh, is that still an impediment these days? Seems like "legal" is now a crowdsourced project
